Midseason review Q&A with WOAI’s Humberto Cervera

The San Antonio Spurs are at the half-way point of their season and it’s time to see where this team stands heading into the second-half.

To discuss the Spurs’ first-half of the season, I spoke with San Antonio’s News 4 WOAI Sports Reporter Humberto “Humbie” Cervera to get his views on the Spurs in this Q&A. Enjoy and don’t forget to visit woai.com.

Jeff: Here we are, midway through the NBA season and the Spurs (35-6) have the best record in the league. How much stock do you put in this team and are you surprised they have been playing this well?

Humbie: As I’ve said since the beginning, this team is one Manu ankle sprain from getting bounced out of the first round of the playoffs. So, I don’t put a large amount of stock into this start. They’ve beaten a bunch of bad teams and when they had a back to back with two good teams they looked really bad. They’re probably not as good as their record says they are, but they’re also better than I thought they could be this year.

Biggest surprise in the first-half of the season: the play of Gary Neal or Tiago Splitter’s less-than-stellar NBA debut?
